Good thing my truck is not a boat,it would go straight to the bottom.

Got the A/C fixed and discovered another friggin' leak. The new leak is where the lower heater/A/C module access cover meets the bottom of the air box. My first thought was condensate drain so I shoved a small screwdriver in it and wallowed it around but the drain was clear and I could feel air coming out with the blower on. I remember some of the older cars and trucks had a sealer where the seams meet but the FSM doesn't show any type of seals where those pieces meet on these trucks.

Anybody ever dealt with this problem?

Are you talking about where lower case halves bolt together that has recess on one side and ridge on the other ?

If it isn't cracked just apply either the oem butyl caulk or silicone sealer, know you'll have to r&r but at least it will be sealed. Sorry for no easy way

Silicone will be easier to remove, high humidity areas have to do some type of sealer , hope it doesn't sweat alot because you know as well as I that you could have a puddle in the floor even if it doesn't leak

Doesn't seem to sweat but it is leaking in the floor. Figure I'll pull the cover off and see if there is any crap up in there that could be damming the water until it raises high enough to leak out the seam. Reckon I'll be gluing up the seam with something. Maybe I can find that seam sealer they used to use in the 70's and 80's

Yeah I was hoping to not have to resort to sealer that would make future maintenance a PITA.

Ok, I get that it is a PITA, but I am really confused about what "future maintenance" would be for that area?
